Figures & data

Figure 1. (a) Box plot illustrating microbial diversities between the three groups. No difference in alpha diversity was detected between the groups. (b) Distribution of bacterial communities across three groups at the phylum level. (c) Distribution of bacterial communities across three groups at the genus level
